Sweden and Singapore, represented by FMV Test and Evaluation (FMV T&E) and the Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA), are entering a long-term agreement to collaborate on joint mutually beneficial studies in the land systems domain. This continues and strengthens the long-standing partnership between the two nations.
The agreement was signed at a ceremony, on the sidelines of the Singapore Defence Technology Summit held at Shangri-La, by Brigadier General (BG) Jonas Lotsne, Director FMV Army Division and Mr Roy Chan, DSTA’s Deputy Chief Executive (Operations).
Mr Chan said, “This partnership with FMV will establish avenues for greater collaboration and sharing between the two nations. Exchanging insights with organisations that have deep technical expertise will ensure our forces are better equipped for the defence challenges of tomorrow.” Attending the ceremony was a delegation from the Swedish Ministry of Defence headed by Brigadier General Patric Hjorth. The DSTA delegation also included Mr Alex Lee, Director Land Systems and other representatives.
BG Jonas Lotsne added, “The new collaboration agreement is a clear sign of the Swedish determination to deliver on the strategy and to forge and maintain strong and long-term relations with Singapore, a very appreciated and important partner to Sweden and FMV. The collaboration is also fully aligned with the Swedish defence cooperation strategy in the Pacific.”
